I saw his quote. I've seen the five year fantasy predisction in 
several forums. I can't imagine that anyone believes it can all 
happen in that time frame. Mostly it comes from cheerleaders employed 
by members of the HD Dominion. It seems to me that just fixing the AM 
transmitter sites would take that long.

The NAB's prediction of digital income was absolutely astonishing. 
History has shown big lies work best. The NAB appears not to be 
communicating with advertising agencies. The industry's biggest media 
buyer says it ain't gonna happen.
